New Products | BriHynergy Releases 200 standard cubic meters PEM Electrolyzer + GW Electrolyzer Production Line

On Nov. 7, BriHyNergy Shenzhen Co.,LTD. (hereinafter referred to as BriHyNergy) co-founder/CTOJiantao Fan attended the 7th Foshan Hydrogen Energy Exhibition [Hydrogen Listening Theater] and delivered a keynote speech. On the scene, BriHyNergy released a single MW-class PEM electrolyzer with a unit hydrogen production capacity of 200 standard cubic meters per hour; at the same time, following the landing of the 4GW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) production line on July 12, BriHyNergy's 1GW Semi-Automatic Flexible Electrolyzer assembly line has also been officially put into production.

Carbon-neutral transition is a far-reaching change in energy structure, industry, economy and society, and hydrogen energy will play a pivotal role in this change. Currently, due to cost, technology and other factors, hydrogen energy, especially green hydrogen, is still in the early stage of large-scale industrial application. The two major cost reduction paths proposed by BriHyNergy, namely the single MW-class PEM electrolyzer + GW-class electrolyzer automated production line, will promote the application of PEM electrolysis to produce hydrogen at a reduced cost, and help the global energy transition.

The 200standard cubic meters PEM electrolyzer independently researched and developed by BriHyNergy has a rated hydrogen production capacity of 200 standard cubic meters/hour in a single tank. The electrolyzer can operate stably within a wide power input range of 5%-125% to directly produce 3.5MPa high-pressure hydrogen, realizing minute-level start-stop and second-level dynamic response, which is highly adapted to the fluctuating nature of wind power, and is suitable for large-scale PEM electrolysis of water for hydrogen production.

CTO Jiantao Fan said, "The development difficulty of MW-class electrolyzer is much higher compared with that of small-scaled electrolyzer, for this reason, the company's R&D team has carried out a lot of innovations in membrane electrodes, electrolyzer structural design, process system, and stacking technology, etc., in order to ensure the product performance, stability, and service life of the electrolyzer."

Thanks to the team's strong technical strength and firm investment in R&D, this product will further reduce the precious metal loading, and utilize the self-developed BriPEM double-enhanced proton membrane instead of foreign materials, and improve the membrane electrode densities, etc., to realize the significant reduction of the cost of single-tank equipment.

The 200 Nm³/h PEM electrolyzer launched by BriHyNergy can be used in various hydrogen production scenarios such as renewable energy coupled electrolysis of water to produce green hydrogen, on-site production of hydrogen at hydrogen refueling stations, and replacement of green hydrogen in the chemical industry, etc., which has a very broad application prospect.

"Cost reduction" is the problem that needs to be solved for hydrogen production from PEM electrolyzed water. In addition to reducing the cost of electrolyzer equipment, scaled production capacity is also an important way to reduce costs. The construction of the semi-automatic flexible electrolyzer assembly line of BriHyNergy took several months, with a total investment of tens of millions of yuan and an annual production capacity of 1GW.

"Through close cooperation with several equipment suppliers, this customized production line of BriHyNergy has achieved a high degree of automation in all assembly processes, and its process level is top-notch in China." According to Fan Jiantao, "For example, the electrolyzer stacking station is equipped with 2 sets of 6-axis robots with vision positioning system, and the stacking accuracy can reach 0.5mm, with a stacking speed of 8 seconds/piece."

On the scene, Hydrogen Glory Energy officially launched its highly recognizable PEM electrolytic water hydrogen production series products under the company's English brand "BriHyNergy", including: [BriLyzer]-PEM electrolytic stack, [BriPEM]-Enhanced Proton Exchange Membrane, [BriMEA]-Membrane Electrode Assembly, [BriTester] Multi-channel Test Bench for PEM Electrolyzer.

In the future, BriHyNergy will continue to build a competitive industrial ecosystem with upstream and downstream partners, take the engineering and application of products as the guide, and make every effort to promote the gradual improvement of PEM electrolysis hydrogen industry, and strive to develop into the head enterprise and supplier of PEM electrolyzer and core materials in China within two years, to provide customers with high-efficiency, high-quality products and services, and to help the global green and low-carbon transformation.
